The Talia Sweater (knock-off)

They say the mark of a trend is seeing people sporting the same item/look with pride versus with disdain and horror at their lack of originality. Unless you have been completely avoiding the fashion world you know that the Rag & Bone Talia sweater is one of those pieces that trancends our tendancy to avoid conformity. In this beauty you will be taking instagraming pictures with a fellow cohort wearing it versus avoiding them across the room.

My personal measure of how great an item is can be measured by 1) how quickly/well/frequently it is knocked-off and 2) how quickly said knock-offs sold out. Unfortunately I missed the Truehitt Nasty Gal version which looked fantastic, but lucky for me EVERYONE is doing a Talia. In fact, I even missed the Forever21 first round of Talia knock-offs only to frantically purchase the second and more oversize version. In case you haven't figured it out until now mine IS a knock-off and I couldn't be happier with it. Try to snag it if you can as it surely won't be around long. Cheers!
